#16 Chihuahuas are very intelligent and sensitive, so they can be trained very well to be therapy dogs.
With a little patience, you can teach these dogs a lot. If you don't deal with them, they often become unhappy.
In nursing homes, for example, they are welcome as therapy dogs. Due to their small size, the residents of the home usually do not feel afraid of theirs.
Chihuahuas trained as therapy dogs love to be held on your lap and petted. In this way, older people who cannot bend down to the animals can contact them and pet them.
